Sherri Claydon joins Vancouver City News as a contributor bringing more than 15 years of experience in recruitment, workforce planning, client strategy, and people-focused business solutions. Her writing will explore the changing world of work and the decisions organizations make about people, technology, leadership, and workplace culture.
Contributor Announcement
Vancouver City News is pleased to welcome Sherri Claydon as a new contributor.
Sherri is Lead – Partnerships & Solutions Management at Targeted Talent, a Vancouver-based recruitment and HR consulting company. Her professional experience spans technical and corporate environments across government, healthcare, Crown corporations, and enterprise organizations.
Throughout her career, Sherri has worked with organizations navigating recruitment, workforce challenges, organizational change, and technology initiatives. Her experience gives her a valuable perspective on an issue affecting businesses across Metro Vancouver and beyond: how organizations find, develop, support, and retain the people they need to succeed.
About The Contributor
Sherri describes herself as a people-first solutions leader. Her work combines client strategy, workforce planning, relationship building, and the design of solutions around complex organizational needs.
A recurring theme in her professional perspective is that people challenges cannot always be solved simply by recruiting more people.
Hiring processes, leadership, communication, workplace culture, employee experience, technology, and organizational expectations can all influence whether a company attracts the right people — and whether those people ultimately stay.
Sherri has also supported organizations through digital transformation and emerging-technology projects, giving her insight into the growing relationship between people and technology in the workplace.
Looking Beyond The Résumé
One area Sherri has been exploring is how organizations evaluate talent.
Experience and technical qualifications remain important, but hiring decisions increasingly require employers to understand transferable skills, adaptability, curiosity, judgment, and a person's ability to continue learning.
That becomes particularly important as technology changes existing jobs and creates new ones.
Sherri's perspective encourages employers to ask a more useful question: not simply whether someone's career followed the expected path, but whether that person has the capabilities needed to succeed in the work ahead.
People And AI In The Workplace
Artificial intelligence will also be part of the conversation.
Sherri has written about an important side of AI adoption that can be overlooked when attention is concentrated on the technology itself: trust.
Employees may have legitimate questions about how AI will affect their jobs, whether their existing experience will continue to be valued, and what new skills they will need.
For employers, adopting new technology therefore involves more than choosing the right tools. Communication, leadership, training, trust, and giving employees room to learn can all influence whether technological change succeeds inside an organization.
Contributor Focus
Readers can expect Sherri to explore topics including recruitment and hiring, workforce planning, talent strategy, employee retention, workplace culture, leadership, skills-based hiring, organizational change, AI in the workplace, diversity and inclusion, and the future of work.
Her articles will look beyond employment headlines to examine what changes in the labour market mean for employers, employees, job seekers, and the broader business community.
A Vancouver Business Perspective
Sherri's contribution is particularly relevant to Vancouver City News.
Targeted Talent is headquartered in Vancouver and works in recruitment, HR and people-and-culture consulting, training, and business partnerships.
The company describes its recruitment approach as matching employers and job seekers based on their individual needs and strengths, while placing an emphasis on equity, acceptance, and inclusive workplace practices.
As Vancouver businesses respond to changing labour conditions, emerging technologies, skills shortages, and evolving employee expectations, those conversations increasingly affect business performance as well as people's everyday working lives.
What Readers Can Expect
Sherri will bring a practical, people-focused perspective to Vancouver City News.
Her writing will help readers examine both sides of the employment relationship: what organizations need to build successful teams and what people need to do meaningful work, develop their careers, and adapt as workplaces change.
Readers can expect articles that challenge familiar assumptions about recruitment and encourage businesses to look more closely at the systems, leadership decisions, and workplace practices behind successful hiring and retention.
Why It Matters
People remain one of the most important investments any organization makes.
A poor hiring process can cause a business to lose strong candidates. Weak onboarding or workplace culture can make recruitment an ongoing cycle. At the same time, AI and other technologies are changing both the skills organizations need and the ways people perform their jobs.
Understanding those changes requires more than following employment statistics. It requires insight into what is happening inside workplaces.
By bringing Sherri Claydon's experience in recruitment, workforce strategy, organizational change, and people-focused solutions to Vancouver City News, readers gain another knowledgeable local voice examining how the future of work is taking shape — and what it means for Vancouver's employers and workforce.
